I have been in a ROTTEN mood all day. I mean, going into WORK with a rotten mood, feeling like a massive jerk because I couldn't be my normal, peppy self the way I normally am. And I really can't think of any definite reason as to why, other than... I really, really need some Kim-time away from work, to huddle in my room and to NOT have to worry about "Are my clothes clean for tomorrow? Do I need to make lunch? Are my feet going to hold out for me?"
Luckily, I work with some AWESOME people and two of my three favorite co-workers were in today-- Lisa and Shirley. Lisa point blank doesn't care what I do because she knows I'll get my work done, and Shirley is very much a really cool mother-figure who is fun to talk to. Lisa admitted that she was in a bad mood too and let me do my own thing and when Shirley came in, she let ME do my own thing, so I spent, quite literally, all day, either ringing up customers, answering the phone, or sitting on my ass, not doing anything.
Which was fine. By. Me. It was a really slow day, one of those days where we would have long stretches of only one customer in the store at a time, inbetween having nobody in the store, and where the person in charge would have to get CREATIVE to find productive things to do. "Creative" tasks are the WORST-- shit like, "Go around and dust EVERY countertop" or "Go through ALL the cards and match up envelopes with them" (we're a HALLMARK store. that's a lot of cards), and I think, because I was in such a grouchy mood when I'm always really perky and agreeable, they decided to let me have my off-day in peace.
Like I admitted, "Part of me feels like a MAJOR jerk for not jumping up to do any projects or anything because we're so slow, but the other, bigger part of me is mentally ripping up the carpets and snarling at people, and it's this part that's telling me to sit around and look pretty. If you have any jobs you'd like me to be doing, let me know, though"
So, I saw this http://www.popsugar.com/Pictures-Emma-Watson-Daniel-Radcliffe-Rupert-Grint-Harry-Potter-Deathly-Hallows-NYC-Premiere-12026085 on the New York red carpet premiere for HP. Aside from the fact that Daniel Radcliffe is fucking ADORABLE (I want to hug him!), I made a FB status about being sad at how Emma dresses herself... and her hair, which I loathe.
H'okay. Before you yell at me like a friend did: In this case, it's not about the fact that I dislike Emma (I'm not really a fan, but with fashion, fan/not a fan isn't considered. Like, I love Helena Bonham Carter-- I'd totally jump her-- but the woman has some of the WORST fashion sense EVER). So yeah, in this instance, it's about Emma's fashion sense, which is something I note in ALL celebrities.
I really thought that, in modelling for Burberry, Emma had finally grown out of her awkward "I'm not sure how to dress myself, but I sure like this shiny fabric, so why not!" and then you wind up with a catastrophe. This, apparently, is not true. I feel like the red carpet look she attempted is a fashion fail. That dress is a very classic style. I truly think that you have to be Jessica Rabbit to pull it off-- voluptuous, with a large chest and large hips, to be curvy and do a whole Hepburn-y deal. But all it does is show how ungodly skinny that girl is. Somebody give her a meal! And truly, it does not match up with her hair. When I see dresses like that, because it's such a simple style, the hair needs to be elaborate-- probably long, ridiculously curly, and dark. Emma doesn't do any of this.
And I mean, going back to harping about her hair... I honestly don't feel like she has the facial structure to pull it off. Her face is very oval. Such a short haircut accentuates how round her face is. Very few actresses can pull of the really short, SHORT hair. Two I can think of are Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie. Both of them have really angular, sharp faces. Emma does not. I mean, do I think she can pull off a new, fun, short haircut? Absolutely. I think she'd be amazing with a cute little pixie cut. But not the Girl Interrupted cut she's got now.
So feel free to flame me. I can't help but want to dress and style other people, especially if I feel like they need the help.
